Family Landmarks Map
Family Map created for a couple with two young children, illustrating locations of friends and family and special places across the UK
This map was created as a London Wedding Invitation.
Over the years I have created many London Map wedding invitations. Each and everyone becomes a lovely, unique piece of work truly representing the couple it is designed for.
Each London map I create is specific to the couple getting married and features the parts of London that mean something to them and their relationship. I have included all sorts of places from football grounds to train stations, key landmarks to small parks.
The map formed the front of an invitation card with the wedding and celebration details written inside. I generally print such map invitations on GFSmith’s Pristine White 350gsm board which is lovely and substantial to hold and will certainly delight friends and family.

Moving Home Gift Map
I designed and created this bespoke map for a couple with two young daughters who were moving from Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire to Australia, Sydney.
The brief was to create a map of the memorable places they had enjoyed whilst living in the Nidderdale area. I drew the two houses they had lived in, the nursery and primary school that their daughters attended as well as the local places special to them all - Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey, coffee shops of Harrogate, cycle routes of the Dales.
I supplied the map digitally so that they could print and frame the map in Australia to avoid having to post such a delicate item across the world.
“We love it! Thank you so much!!!”
